For happiness we cannot know,

Since we've incurr'd this lasting woe!"

In this sad story we may find

A lesson for the youthful mind:
It shows that duty is a treasure,
And ought to be our greatest pleasure.

(The following lines were suggested on observing the Forget-me-not growing near a Rose Tree in full bloom-of the kind called the "Pronville Rose," the leaves of which are tinged with blue!)

A PRETTY, blue-eyed laughing flower,

Grew wildly near a myrtle bower,
Where many Roses graced the spot,
Who envied the Forget-me-not.
"Ah, simple flower!" the Roses cried,
"You boast a power to us denied.
Whilst fragrance only we impart,

You speak the language of the heart."

*"The Envious Roses" will be set to music by Miss Maria B. Hawes, and published shortly.

In frolic mood, and sportive play,

Young Zephyr wing'd his flight that way;
And "Wild-flower," said, "Learn this of me:
The Roses ne'er can vie with thee!"

More jealous then the Roses grew,
And stole the Wild-flower's tinge of blue,
Exclaiming, "Ah! how blest our lot!
We're now like you, Forget-me-not."
